Small-scale convection beneath the transverse ranges, California: Implications for interpretation of gravity anomalies [PDF]
Tomographic inversion of upper mantle P wave velocity heterogeneities beneath southern California shows two prominent features: an east-west trending curtain of high velocity material (up to 3% fast) in the upper 250 km beneath the Transverse Ranges and ...

Teaching New Religious Movements Historically: Distance, Empathy, and Cults in the Classroom
Teaching Theology &Religion, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Resistance to understanding the beliefs of modern New Religious Movements (NRMs) is well‐known to those who teach in the area. This paper builds on Eugene Gallagher's repurposing of “methodological belief” for college classes on NRMs by suggesting that scholars and teachers in the field of religious studies engage methods and content drawn ...

The older ultramafic rocks of Aberdeenshire, similarities to SSZ ophiolites and significance for regional tectonics [abstract] [PDF]
, 2008 It has long been known that there are at least two phases of mafic-ultramafic magmatism in NE Scotland (Read 1919), the well known Younger Gabbro suite and a lesser known ‘Older suite’.

Correlation between plate motion and tomography [PDF]
, 1991 The driving force of plate motions is considered to have a correlation with the upper mantle, but the correlation with the lower mantle is not clear. There might be a heat source in the lower mantle or on the top of the outer core, in addition to ridge
